Default WINDOW RATTLE

Has anyone else had an issue with the drivers side window rattling? It seems that if I have the window all the way up it rattles really bad. Im not talking about a little annoyance but it seems like it may actually fall apart. It rattles whether or not I have music on. However if I put the window down the slightest bit (window still appears to be closed) the rattle stops. Im going to make an appointment with the dealer today I just wanted to know if anyone else has had this problem

heck the bottom adjuster bolt on the bottom edge of the door.
Mine was loose and it rattled until I tightened it up. No need for
the stealership for that one, thank god.

do you happen to have a pic of the bolt you are refering to? Its a pain in the A$$ to take apart the door and if I do I want to make sure Im messing with the right thing.

Nope, but it should be covered under the Warrenty, Take it in. Have them fix it.

Open the door. Lay on the ground.
Look at the bottom of the door closer
to the hinge side than the latch side.
Squint your eyes and feel with your
hands. Its right there on the bottom
edge of the door in plain view. No
taking anything apart. Really worth
the time to check it for tightness.
It only took me 1 min to determine
it was loose and then tighten in up.
No more rattle in the door. Hope
this helps.

got my car back yesterday and the window rattle is gone. They also put some foam behind the dash to help with the occassional dash rattle. However I still notice a slight rubbing/rattle sound from behind the dash, not too bad so Ill prob just ignore it. All that is left now is to put a small piece of dynomat under the switch plate and screw cover to eleminate all the rattles...

Loud mufflers and hearing loss works for me.
